Machining times cut by three-quarters
It used to take Watford-based Parker Hannifin 30 minutes to machine both ends of complex cylinder rods. The same job is now done in seven minutes in a Nakamura Tome TW-20, twin-turret lathe.
Two opposing twin-turret lathes are in one
One of the most capable mill-turning machines ever built, has four turrets, two spindles and offers a total of 13 computer controlled axes.
"This performance was all the more special considering that during the year we managed to refinance the business and complete the installation of a new GBP 150,000 integrated management system which will deliver real benefits for the business and our customers." With its installed base in the UK and Ireland now topping 3500 machine tools - Mills is confident about its future success in 2007 and beyond.
Continued Jenkins: "The investments we have made in our technical and applications teams mean that we are well placed to capitalise on the growing demand among customers for complex turnkey solutions.
Doosan Daewoo machines are in high demand.
From standard entry 2-axis lathes and ultra-productive 3-axis machining centres - right through to multi-axis, multi-tasking mill-turn centres - we can provide the optimum machine tool solution." In May 2007 Doosan Daewoo will hold its bi-annual DIMF Show in Korea where it is expected that over 60 new machine tool models will be launched.
These new machines (many destined for the UK in the months to come) - reveal and demonstrate Doosan Daewoo's ambitions to be the world's largest machine tool manufacturer within the next three years.
